Hi! I am Jenny Amaya, and I'd like to welcome you to Sibelius 6 Essential Training. In this course, I will walk you through how to create and edit your music in Sibelius, from score creation and note entry all the way through printing a professional-looking score and parts. To be successful in this course, you will need to have basic music fundamental skills, including knowledge of musical notation. I'll start by giving you a broad overview of the Sibelius interface, including a detailed look at Sibelius's thematic quick keys, so that you can quickly and easily make your way around the program.

In this course, author Jenny Amaya covers the ins and outs of creating, arranging, and publishing professional-looking scores using Avid's popular music notation software. Beginning with the basics of score creation and note entry, the course explains how to interface with a MIDI keyboard; edit note durations and pitches; and incorporate lyrics, tempo markings, and other text elements. Also included are tutorials on formatting your score and dynamic parts.
